Peeping into the Immortal Road

Chapter 6 Hunting in the Mountains
Time flies, and two days are gone in a flash.

At dawn on the third day, Ji Chang was ready to go, and headed straight for Black Mountain with a bow and arrow in hand.

Heishan County is named after the mountain.

According to legend, this Black Mountain is a branch of the Shiwan Mountains south of Zheng State. The peaks are steep, the forests are dense, and ferocious beasts often appear.

Although he had a map of the Black Mountains in his mind, he knew where there were many rabbits and where the pheasants were fat.

But it is hard to say that I know the situation in Montenegro very well.

Not to mention the old hunters in the village who died in the mountains, just talk about his father in this life, the experienced, strong and middle-aged hunter, didn't he also stay in the Black Mountain.

Ji Chang was well aware of the dangers of forests and he could still vividly remember the lessons learned by those old hunters at the cost of their lives.

Ji Chang didn't dare to relax at all.

He quietly shuttled through the woods, his eyes scanning the surroundings alertly, sometimes bending down to check for footprints on the ground, and sometimes looking up to observe the movements in the treetops.

Suddenly, a slight noise was heard. Ji Chang stopped instantly, his eyes as sharp as an eagle.

He quickly pulled out an arrow, put it on the bow, took a deep breath, and then let go.

The arrow flew through the air, leaving with a whoosh sound.

The arrow accurately pierced the body of a hare.

The hare fell to the ground, and its blood dyed the ground red.

Ji Chang first looked around vigilantly, then stepped forward and picked up the dead rabbit.

Time passed, and soon, the sky was bright.

Ji Chang found a place where a mountain stream flowed, drank some water, and ate breakfast with some dry food.

At the same time, Ji Chang paid attention to the peeping scene in his mind.

In a room that was decorated extremely exquisitely and elegantly, Li Gui was lying on the bed and snoring.

In his bed, there was a pretty maid lying. The maid's exposed skin was fair and flawless, like delicate white jade.

It turns out that it is difficult to change the nature of Li Gui, the young master of the Li family.

It had only been two or three days, but he could no longer suppress the urge in his lower body and began to release his desires again.

However, perhaps this is nothing to Li Gui, just a small fight.

At least he didn't go to those brothels to have fun, he just came here to have fun with the maids at home.

However, when Ji Chang's gaze shifted from Li Gui's life to the dry food in his hand, he felt a little uncomfortable.

The dry food formed a sharp contrast with Li Gui's luxurious life.

He couldn't help but curse in a low voice: "What a world!"

Ji Chang stuffed the dry food into his mouth and took a sip of water, then picked up the bow and arrow and continued to rush through the mountains and forests.

He had to catch more prey before dark and leave enough time to leave the mountain and return home.

There are many dangers in the mountains after dark.

It's not just the various dangerous beasts that begin to come alive.

It is also because it is easier to encounter monsters and demons hiding in the Black Mountains at night.

Even the most outstanding hunter in the village would never spend the night in the Black Mountain.

That’s right, there are monsters and demons in the Black Mountains.

But according to the old people in the village, those monsters and demons are mainly distributed in the depths of the Shiwan Mountains.

In the outer areas of the Hundred Thousand Mountains, such as the Black Mountain, there are very few traces of monsters.

What's more, even if the hunters in Heishan County go into the mountains to hunt, they only operate on the outskirts of Heishan.

As long as you are careful and don't go too deep into the mountains, you will generally encounter only some ordinary wild beasts.

However, even if you encounter an ordinary wild beast, it can sometimes be quite dangerous.

In short, this world is definitely not as simple as it seems.

Ji Chang practices martial arts not only to live a better life, but also to be able to save his life in this world.

……

Afternoon. Ji Chang stopped and glanced at the sky.

The sun was setting slightly, but the sky was still a deep blue.

Although it was still early, it would take a lot of effort to get down the mountain.

So Ji Chang prepared to start going down the mountain.

In the picture in his mind, Li Gui is now lying in a wooden tub, absorbing the medicinal power of the medicinal bath under the care of his father Li Ying.

As Li Ying said before, Li Gui only needed half a year to successfully refine his skin and break through to the first level of refining.

Li Gui has the personal guidance and care of Li Ying, the owner of the Black Mountain Martial Arts School, a master of the third level of training, and he also takes uninterrupted medicinal baths and various other supplements.

It will take more than half a year.

As for myself, I need to go into the mountains to hunt to earn money to buy medicine and make medicine.

A lot of time was wasted, and perhaps his practice would be much slower than Li Gui's.

Of course, according to Li Ying, bone quality is also very important.

Li Gui's aptitude was average, but with the help of this secret medicine, he could enter the first level of refinement in more than half a year.

If my aptitude was better, even if I wasted a lot of time, I might be able to progress much faster than him.

Even if one's bones are not good, with the Five Elements Bone Refining Soup, a secret medicine that is the fourth level of refinement, one will probably be able to cultivate the skin and enter the first level of refinement within a year.

In any case, it is much better than ordinary people who spend decades to break into the first level of refining.

Besides, this martial artist is not considered a minion even in the martial arts world.

Even in the Black Mountain Gang, he is considered a leader.

With his strength, he was able to guard the house of a wealthy family in Heishan County and receive a salary.

Not only does the income exceed that earned from hunting in the mountains, but it is also stable and safe.

Even if you become a warrior, if you are unlucky and encounter a monster when hunting in the mountains, you will lose your life in the mountains.

After returning to the village, Ji Chang met a few familiar hunters on the road and greeted them.

Ji Chang learned from them that they had just returned from the county town and had just sold the prey they had.

Ji Chang could see something wrong from their faces.

Under Ji Chang's questioning, they did not hide anything.

"The Black Mountain Gang's purchase price has dropped by another 10%."

"Another 10% drop?"

Ji Chang was shocked.

When the Black Mountain Gang purchased prey from them, they would buy them at low prices, and then sell them to restaurants, wealthy families, and martial arts schools in the city at high prices, making a lot of profit from it.

Of course, Black Mountain Gang leader Li Hu also knows that he cannot kill all the fish, and he has a long-term vision.

Therefore, the price on weekdays is much lower than the market price, but not too low, which still leaves a way for these hunters to survive.

But this time it dropped by another 10%, there must be a reason behind it.

"What's going on?" Ji Chang asked.

"Li Gui, the young master of the Black Mountain Gang, is getting married soon, and they said this is our gift." A hunter sighed.

Ji Chang frowned slightly.

Relying on his ability of peeping, he had already known that Li Gui was going to get married.

Unexpectedly, the Black Mountain Gang actually used this incident to lower the purchase price.

It's easy for the Black Mountain Gang to lower the price, but it's difficult to get them to raise the price again.

As a result, he earned less money and was able to buy fewer medicinal herbs.

Wouldn't the speed of entering the first level of refining be much slower?

This is tantamount to cutting flesh from him.

Ji Chang looked hatefully at Li Gui who was soaking in the medicinal bath through the images in his mind.
